I have good hopes for Bimatoprost, however the pigmentation sides I heard about freaks the hell out of me. Last thing I would wish is to get dark circles under my eye or anywhere else on my head. I hope Allergan solve this matter during the final development of the hair loss product. Thanks 534623 for bringing this up.

There is nothing to suggest that any hair grown will not still be susceptible to the damage of DHT. Eye lashes are very different to scalp hair in that they are not attacked by DHT. Bimatoprost might prove effective in growing scalp hair, but without propecia sooner or later this new hair will probably be attacked by DHT.

I think the best we can hope for is that bimatoprost can go further than minoxidil and can re-grow hair on relatively slick bald spots. I don't think bimatorprost will ever become a replacement for propecia as it doesn't fight DHT. However, if bimatoprost can prove more effective than minoxidil at regrowing hair on a slick bald scalp or temples then propecia could perhaps be used alongside it to keep this new hair in place.

This would be a dream come true for bald men around the world and could still help turn an NW6 to an NW1!

Pretty much anything that comes out in the near future in terms of meds will need combination treatment with other medications, that's pretty much a given.

Bim sounds like it'll be overpriced and under-powered if it is FDA approved for hairloss, but hey, at least it'll be something new to the mix. Progress is very slow.
